Life. I like to imagine stories to go along with the gameplay. And it always reminds me of the time our church played a live-action version of the game - it was fun to watch our kids get married, have babies, and try to figure out work and school and everything.
My oldest daughter played another version of the live-action game, and actually went on a date later on with her fake husband. My youngest daughter, who never wants to get married, had a great marriage and died early, while my youngest son got married to a girl who despised him, made more money than him, and tried to turn him into her slave. So interesting to watch those dynamics play out.
Least Favorite Board Game?
Risk. I bought it for Sam - the Lord of the Rings version. Didn't realize at the time that it's the game that never ends.
Book?
It changes, and there's lots of them. Currently, I'd say it's Winesburg, Ohio by Sherwood Anderson. I aspire to write like that someday. Also enjoying the Journal of John Woolman, although it's pretty thick.
Least Favorite Book?
A Confederacy of Dunces. I wanted to like it. Just couldn't.
Best Candy?
When it comes to candy, it's all about the chocolate, and all about the brands. I can't eat high fructose corn syrup, so See's Candy is good, or Godiva, or Dove chocolate, or Ghiradelli for baking, or Lindt, especially their little filled bonbons that I ask for at Christmas.
Worst Candy?
There's some Mexican candy that's sold in the supermarkets here. I've had some of it, and some of it's okay, but their chocolate is very powdery for my taste, and the chocolate chili pepper candy...I just can't.
Best Card game?
Apples to Apples. Huge family favorite at our house.
Worst card game?
Anything that involves gambling, or even a hint of gambling. I'm a closet over-gambler, so I avoid anything that tends in the direction of betting.
Color?
Turquoise, or gunmetal gray. The sky gets that color sometimes before a storm, and I love it.
Worst color?
The sort of yellow-green color that baby poop turns in the first year of life.
Best Cookie?
Cowboy cookies, or lemon bars. It's a tie.
Worst Cookie?
Those dry sugar-powdered wedding cookies, what are they called? I think they're called terrible...
Best Drink?
Water. Especially seltzer water with a little lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. Love it!
Worst Drink?
Jolt Cola. Had it once in my life when I was trying to stay up all night for the first time in my life in college. Thought I would die. Never again.
Best Flavor of ice cream?
Baskin Robbins has (or used to have) this daiquiri ice stuff that I absolutely loved. A close second was praline pecan.
Worst flavor of ice cream?
Mocha. Mostly because I don't drink coffee and I'm not used to or fond of that flavor. My mom bought it once when we were kids, because she thought it was chocolate ice cream. I tried to eat it, but it just tasted really weird. She looked at the package and took it back to the store.
Best Flower?
Forget-me-nots. Mostly because of an LDS Conference talk (like a sermon) that I loved by that name. I also love the purple roses that grow in my yard, and I really hope that plant didn't completely die in the heat this year.
Worst Flower?
I'm not much of a flower hater, but I guess those orange lillies you see sometimes in flower arrangements. I think they're pretty, but they've got that brown pollen stuff that gets all over your face and hands. A little annoying, at the most.
